Another important component of the first day is establishing how our community will work together. The students worked in cooperative groups to come up with ideas/rules that help a community work better. This activity ties in directly to our first planner of the year: Who We Are.
The central idea is that actions and attitudes affect our community.
The students did a great job developing ideas in their groups. One recurring issue that most groups talked about was that it was hard to hear the teacher if other people are talking.
As a result we made one of our essential agreements: Be a good listener.
